David Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Very nice AC! Was this at an auction? When and where was it? What did the truck go for?It's not proper forum etiquette to publicly ask someone what they paid for a truck. If they post the price, there's always the chance their wife could read it. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28409-1916-ac-mack/page/2/#findComment-147322 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Nice truck Superdog! When are you inviting the Mack Forum over to visit your outdoor Mack museum? Ya know,I been thinking about this for some time,I'd really like to do something like Gerhart's show.Show's here in the midwest are few,but there's lots of Macks around.What do you think? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28409-1916-ac-mack/page/2/#findComment-147357 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuhlz Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I would attend! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28409-1916-ac-mack/page/2/#findComment-147358 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 I would attend!I think it would fly.There's plenty of us that can't make it that far east to the big shows all the time.I'm definately gonna do some serious thinking on it this winter. It would give me a good excuse to do some reorganizing and straightening up,too.

It would give me a good excuse to do some reorganizing and straightening up,too.Where in Iowa are you located? I would consider attending and may or may not bring my MH. I like the idea - see some different Macks, meet some new people, and see some nice scenery.

Watch out Mike,with Illinois being short of funds,you might owe some back registration fees on a few units there! I've got another B model that Mike Pagel picked up for me years ago from one of his contacts in the towing business up there,it had been abandoned in a alley.Also have the cream colored '65 that was originally a HJ Mohr? tractor and the remains of it's twin sister.
